Football Tournament against Corruption

The Jnana-Deepa Vidyapeeth (JDV) Culture Wing organised an “Interplay Football” tournament among the students. The annual tournament started on Monday, 18 July. Eight teams participated in the tournament (1st & 2nd Year Philosophy, 1st, 2nd & 3rd year Theology, Deacons and Post-Graduate students).


The theme for this year’s tournament was “2G – Golden Goal”. The 2G was a symbol of anti-corruption which is the issue going on in the country. So the 2G was chosen to show our fight against the anti-corruption.

The final match was held on 25th July at 4 pm in between the 2nd year Philosophy and 2nd year theology students and it was a real tough match.



The 2nd year Theology students emerged as the champions with a 3 – 0 win.
In his speech, the chairman of the organising committee, Bro. Jason Pulickel thanked everyone for their cooperation, building rapport among the students and the spirit of sportsmanship. Prizes were also given for the man of the match, best goalkeeper, the best team and not forgetting the best person for cheering at the tournament!

The Champions



During my seminary life at College General, Penang, we used invite a few hotels and clubs from the Penang Island for the annual league soccer tournaments every year until 1998. After that due to the dropping of number of students in the seminary and finally the sports life, the committee decided to end the tradition of having the annual soccer tournament at the college grounds. In 1995, the year I joined the seminary, our team became the champions of the tournament.
